Estates: Architectural Design Services.
II.1.2)Short description:
The University of St Andrews wish to engage with a selected group of Architects to complete an Architectural Design Competition. The Competition Design Submissions are for a new Music Centre located in Queen's Terrace, St Andrews and shall be completed to Design Concept standards.
The architectural proposals are to be designed with flair and innovation encompassing performance interiors whilst also demonstrating that practical, cost-effective structural engineering and building services solutions have been considered. The historical significance of the new proposals on the Queen's Terrace site must reflect the surrounding heritage environment and the association to St Regulus Hall, The Bute Building and St Mary's Quadrangle.
Proposals must be suitably developed to allow project concept costs and construction strategies to be prepared as well as addressing issues of sustainability, operations and maintenance.
The successful architect will be required to work with, and take the lead designer responsibilities to, a wider design team procured independently by the University to complete the design to the end of RIBA Stage 2. Initial appointments will be to Stage 2 with an option to confirm continuation. As part of the Design Competition Submission the architect will be required to submit full design fees for architectural services for full project delivery. This fee will be taken into account when appraising the tender proposals of shortlisted candidates.

VI.3.2)Lodging of appeals
Precise information on deadline(s) for lodging appeals: The University of St Andrews will incorporate a minimum of 10 calendar day standstill period at the point of information on the award of the contract being communicated to tenderers. This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further debriefing from the contracting authority before the contract is entered into. Applicants have 2 working days from the notification of the award decision to request additional debriefing and that information has to be provided a minimum of 3 working days before the expiry of the standstill period. Such additional information should be requested from The University of St Andrews.
If an appeal regarding the award of contract has not been successfully resolved The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2012 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rule to take action in the Sheriff Court or Court of Session.
Anyone bringing Court proceedings against the University of St Andrews must inform the University of St Andrews in advance of the alleged breach and its intention to bring proceedings. Any such action must be brought within 15 days of the date on which a decision is sent to them or published to challenge that decision.
Proceedings seeking an ineffectiveness order must be brought within 30 days of the publication of the contract award notice in the OJEU, or 30 days from the date of a decision letter to all tenderers concerned, and any candidates concerned, containing a summary of the reason for the recipient being unsuccessful, otherwise 6 months from the date of entering into the contract or concluding the framework agreement.
Where a contract has not been entered into the Court may, by interim order, suspend the procurement procedure. The Court may also set aside a decision or actions taken by the University or order it to amend and document; and/or award damages. However, by express requirement the court may decide not to grant an interim order when the negative consequences of such an order are likely to outweigh the benefits, having regard to a number of considerations.
If the contract has been entered into the Court may, depending on the nature of the breach: make an ineffectiveness order; impose a financial penalty; shorten the duration of the contract; make any other order considered appropriate to address the consequences of ineffectiveness or shortening the duration or the contract; award damages.
